Charlotte Knights News Release


SYRACUSE, NY - The Charlotte Knights opened up a six game road trip on Tuesday night against the hottest team in the International League, the Syracuse Mets. Despite a tremendous starting pitching performance from Duncan Davitt, the Knights were dealt an 11-0 loss to a Mets team that has now won 14 of their last 15 games.

Davitt, who made his Knights debut, pitched six shutout innings in a pitcher's duel that spanned the first two-thirds of the game. Davitt allowed a couple of base-runners in the bottom of the seventh before giving way to the bullpen with the score 0-0.

Both inhered runners came in to score in what ended up being a five-run frame for the home team. That left Davitt with a line of 6.1 innings pitched and two runs allowed. Syracuse one-upped their seventh inning with a six-run eighth that put the game away.

Offensively, Charlotte was limited to five hits, all singles, and went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. Dominic Fletcher went 2-for-4 and Andre Lipcius reached base twice.

The Knights and Mets have a quick turnaround with Game Two of the series scheduled for 12:35pm ET on Wednesday. Charlotte will attempt to snap a three-game skid while Syracuse hopes to keep their spot atop the IL second half standings.
